Not only that, but IniLocator/AppSearch can only search INI files in the
WindowsFolder directory. It's about the most useless pattern I've ever seen.
What Windows Installer really needs is a built in XmlLocator and RegExLocator
patterns. I guess the chances of that are slim to none however...

If it's not .ini format, IniFileSearch won't work. The underlying
functionality requires section names. You'd need a custom action.

No, there's nothing like that built in to MSI.
